By way of Netflix streaming, we just completed Season 1 (2007) of the original Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares from Channel 4. Throughout, the chef traveled to restaurants throughout the UK that were failing for various reasons, attempted to identify and correct the failures in one week, then returned a month later to see how the [...]
We subscribe to the Netflix streaming service. We use the Wii console to access an interface to stream movies and television shows. But … we’ve not watched anything on Netflix in a while. We’ve been watching less television generally and less Netflix specifically. The holidays. Library books. A return to our box set [...]
I greatly appreciate the work of Mitch Joel of Twist Image, a social media and marketing agency in Montreal, Quebec. The Six Pixels of Separation book, blog, and podcast provide a steady stream of smart, interesting, and useful ideas. Below is a simple graphic I made to demonstrate one of his best go-to lines; [...]

Answer: if it doesn’t work for the audience, it doesn’t work for anyone. I received an email from a [...]
It worked. Link bait positioning drew me in to a series of posts from Dan Zarrella, “The Social Media Scientist,” who uses data to punch holes in “unicorns and rainbows” myths about social media. A trio of posts (two relatively new, another a few months old) all attempt to shoot down the idea that marketers [...]
This blog has been woefully neglected over the past couple months. It’s not for a lack of ideas or opinions; I’ve got plenty. Instead, it’s more an issue of habit and focus. The former’s insufficiently formed as it relates to punching out short pieces here. The latter’s been divided over other projects. So: a quick [...]
You’re welcome in advance for this one. Naming your business can be challenging. Do you use your name? Do you include explicitly the kind of business it is? Is it more abstract and evocative? For your next cemetery, golf course, apartment complex, condo development, housing subdivision, retirement home (err … senior living center) or any [...]
